Chapter 100 Since You’ve Already Begged Me

Hearing this, Wendy shook her head and commented, “That’s a really bad temper, alright. Why can’t

she sit down and have a good chat peacefully? What happened next? Did you look for her?”

“I did.”

“Did she go back with you?”

“No, she’s meeting other people while being pregnant with my child.”

Wendy inhaled sharply and slapped her thigh, saying angrily, “How could she? That is your wife’s fault.

No matter how bad the argument is, she can’t do something like this! We call this infidelity! Bigamy!

What’s more, she’s still pregnant with your child. She…”

Leanna, who had been quietly watching the show from the side, couldn’t help but add, “He’s divorced.”

Wendy continued, “Even if they’re divorced, she can’t… Wait, divorced?” She jolted before asking in

disbelief, “Aidan, you’re divorced?”

Aidan glanced at Leanna before nodding.

“Then…”

At this time, Naomi came out. As Wendy had a loud voice, she had heard what they were discussing

while she was in the kitchen and suddenly felt that she was about to lose her mind. Hence, she

hurriedly came up with an excuse and dragged Wendy outside.

After arriving at her home, Wendy said, “Naomi, I haven’t finished talking to Aidan yet. I really didn’t

expect him to be divorced. Don’t you care about your son?”

Naomi said exasperatedly, “They’re both divorced.”

“Exactly.” Saying that, Wendy continued surreptitiously, “Oh, Naomi, I noticed that Leanna and Aidan

are quite a good fit. Since Aidan is also divorced, I’ll look for a chance to ask him about it and see if

he…”

“That’s enough.” Naomi stopped her. “Haven’t you noticed that they’re talking about each other?”

“Wha…”

“They both came from Highside, one came after the other, and both of them are divorced. One ran

away with a child in her belly, and the other came to look for her. Do you understand now?” Wendy was

rendered speechless. She had just slowly digested and accepted that Aidan was Naomi’s son, but she

fell into deep contemplation once again. After a while, she asked in disbelief, “Are you saying that

Leanna’s irresponsible ex-husband is…” Naomi nodded. “I didn’t pry into their relationship, but I talked

to Leanna before, and there should be a misunderstanding between her and Aidan. He only believes in

what he sees with his own eyes, so whatever I say would be useless too.” Wendy didn’t quite know

what she was talking about. She smacked her forehead all of a sudden as she recalled that she had

once set up Leanna and Harry in front of Aidan, and viciously called Leanna’s ex-husband inhumane…

This is just too embarrassing. … Of course, there was someone else who felt more embarrassed than

Wendy. Leanna sat in the yard, not knowing if she should stay or leave. She really didn’t expect Wendy

to delve so deeply into this topic, especially when she had just offended Aidan not long ago. Moreover,

this b*stard spoke as if he’s the victim. The only reason she ran away was because he cold-heartedly

wanted to get rid of the child in her stomach. But why did he make it out to be her fault?

Aidan met her eyes and said in an indifferent tone, “What do you want to say?” Leanna replied

seriously, “I think that you lie too much, President Pearson. You obviously came here for the acquisition

case, but you just said you came to look for me. Besides, if you say that, it can easily… make others

misunderstand.” “Misunderstand what? That I like you?” Leanna didn’t reply, tacitly agreeing to his

words.

She had thought that Aidan would mock her for being overimaginative, but he said nonchalantly,

“Leanna, you have to know that sometimes liking someone doesn’t mean anything.”

That was true. To Aidan, liking something might not be as important as a document in his office. Seeing

Leanna hanging her head without a word, he continued unhappily, “You got the answer you wanted. Do

you have nothing to say?” After some time, Leanna said, “You just said it doesn’t mean anything. So,

what more can I say?” He only liked someone either on a whim or because of his innate

possessiveness as a man. Even the likes of Anthony couldn’t compare to him. Aidan stared at her for a

few seconds before he said languidly, “Leanna, I suggest you get a checkup on your brain the next time

you go to the hospital to see if there’s something wrong with it.” Leanna was speechless. Is this b*stard

trying to pick a fight now? Their cold war ended with Naomi’s return. After staying downstairs for a few

days, Aidan asked to move to the second floor on the grounds that the first floor was too humid. Of

course, Naomi was not used to handling his temper, so the responsibility fell on Leanna instead. There

were only two rooms on the second floor. One was the room she slept in, while the other was next to

hers. Leanna felt that he didn’t have any good intentions, but the b*stard had a long string of excuses,

and she still owed him a favor for Louis’ admission letter, so she could only bite her tongue and make

the bed for him. Soon, two weeks passed in a flash, and Leanna had been staying here for more than a

month. She heard from Wendy that the acquisition had been settled, and the documents would be sent

to them within two days. By that time, the neighbors would have to move out one after another. Hence,

she thought that Aidan would be leaving soon as well.

In the morning, Leanna had just opened the door when she saw Aidan leaning against the wall outside,

his voice laced with fatigue. “Where are you going this early in the morning?”

“I have a pregnancy checkup.” Saying that, she purposely asked with the intention of making him

uncomfortable, “Do you want to tag along, President Pearson?”

Aidan said, “Is that someone begging me, I hear? Sure, I’ll do you a favor.”

Leanna fell silent. Why did I even bother asking?

Aidan continued, “Wait for me downstairs. I’ll go and change.”

“Okay.”

As it was still early, Leanna was still half-awake as she yawned while heading out.

Just then, one of her neighbors passed by. “Leanna, you’re up early.”

Leanna replied with a smile, “Yes, I’m going out for a walk.”

“Why are you alone? Where’s President Pearson?”

Leanna didn’t reply.

Through Wendy, the whole street was now aware of their relationship. However, it wasn’t a bad thing

either. This way, she wouldn’t be misunderstood every time Aidan dragged her out with him.

Just then, Aidan appeared behind her.

The neighbor smiled and said, “That’s what I thought. All right, I won’t get in between you two. I’ll be

leaving first.”

After the neighbor left, Aidan looked at Leanna. “Aren’t you going to eat breakfast?”

She returned to her senses. “I need to fast for today’s checkup. Ms. Fletcher probably made breakfast,

so you can…”

Aidan began to stride away with his long legs. “Let’s go.”
